As much as the Childs insist their lives are blessed by God's favor, pointing to their giant house and luxury clothes, Honk for Jesus constantly shows their suffering.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 20, 2024

"...what do you do when the people you expect to walk more upright than the rest of us prove to be just as jacked up and arguably more mendacious as the sinners they act like they’re better than?

I would recommend “Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul” if you love fictional documentaries, love the cast or are familiar with this type of prosperity gospel.

Hall gives what a career-best performance in a role that allows both her comedic and dramatic acting muscles to shine.

| Feb 13, 2024

Alongside the hilarity and dark subject, Hall and Brown are great counterparts, filled with awkward laughs and the latter’s egomaniac and extravagant performance.

| Sep 8, 2023

Both Brown and Hall play their roles with just the right amount of pious pride and vulnerability.

| Original Score: B | Aug 9, 2023

It’s thanks to Hall that Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul. stays afloat as long as it does. And it’s because of her intensity that the rest of the film’s shortcomings stand out so much. There is magic here, but it’s not ready for a rebirth quite yet.

I want Regina Hall to get her roses, the rose bush, the garden, the ground and any piece of land she wants for this performance.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 15, 2023

Unfortunately the movie mostly avoids the more surreal or mystical possibilities of its satire. I still enjoyed it, for sure, but there are missed opportunities.

| Jan 31, 2023

Writer-director Adamma Ebo takes a knowing approach that finds amusing gags that are sometimes obvious or unnerving. And there's enough complexity in the story to take in both broad nuttiness and darker emotions.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 9, 2022

The Ebo twins don’t know whether to take pity on them or vilify them for the materialistic heathens that they are.

Regina Hall is superb in this humorous and sharp mockumentary that explores the double standards of a religious congregation. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 8, 2022

Regina Hall, to what should be no one’s surprise, provides the heart of the film.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 8, 2022

With so many thought-provoking things 'Honk for Jesus' has to say, you might want it to zero in on its overall focus — especially at the conclusion. Perhaps that’s in the beholder’s eye.

| Sep 26, 2022

Satires do not get limper than this one-joke (i.e. look at all we’ve bought) film that wastes the comic potential of Regina Hall and Sterling K. Brown. Mishapen at every turn, this movie misses a multiple-mile target by forgetting to bring the ammo.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Sep 21, 2022

Ebo adapted this film from her own short of the same name, and at feature length, it regularly feels like a thimble full of wine diluted in a goblet full of holy water.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Sep 21, 2022

Succeeds in landing some punches, but the laughs peter out quickly, and its ending is a bizarre muddle.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 19, 2022

Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul. is a chronicle of a woman at a crossroads, analyzing life, love, and God in excruciating detail — and not necessarily in that order.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 18, 2022

In director Adamma Ebo’s feature debut, it’s a tale of many parts, where the comedic stuff is gold, the dramatic stuff is fine, and the final result is ultimately successful.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 14, 2022

Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul’s satirical edge is far from a repetitive one-note joke as Ebo’s script explores the inner workings of this once reputable couple.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 14, 2022
